FIFA has banned Dele Alli for one international match for making an offensive gesture during England's World Cup qualifying match against Slovakia at Wembley last month.

Alli has equally been fined 5,000 Swiss francs following the incident, though FIFA's disciplinary committee said it accepted the gesture had not been aimed at the referee.

TV footage showed the 21-year-old swearing shortly after a crash with Martin Skrtel, but the player was quick to stress that it was aimed at team-mate Kyle Walker rather than the officials or any Slovakia player.

Alli is going to miss next Thursday's game against Slovenia at Wembley as England look to seal their place at next summer's World Cup, but he could come back for the final group game in Lithuania on Sunday.

Before the suspension being announced, England boss Gareth Southgate said he hoped Alli would learn from his mistake.

So the outshot of all of this is that he recognizes the responsibility and it's important for him & us that he is available for games which he wants to play.
